Analysis of Attitudes to Student Housing

Chapter ONE Introduction: 1.1BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Student lodging is an indispensable constituent of the substructure of any university campus. They are even more of import in a private university. It is of import that pupil lodging installations should let pupils to transport out their academic activities freely while promoting societal interaction. Completed residential edifices should non merely be fit for the intent of the users, but besides be able to execute their maps in such ways as to guarantee comparative occupants ’satisfaction ( Liu, 1999 ) . Research has shown that designers and edifice users’ differ in their criterions or thoughts about the manner edifices should look or run. The designer is normally concerned with aesthetics, economic system, structural stableness, functionality, fulfilling the client ; while the user is chiefly concerned with how best the edifice accommodates his activities. It is necessary for betterment of the design procedure particularly in structured establishments with the possible to transport out similar design and building undertakings that an rating of the public presentation of their existing installations is carried out. The consequence of certain physical and psychological facets of a edifice on the users’ productiveness can non be understated. It is necessary that an appraisal of pupil inn installations and their functionality be carried out. This formal rating of the built environment is called â€Å"Post Occupancy Evaluation ( POE ) † and it is the rating of a edifice with accent placed on its functional characteristics instead than the aesthetics, proficient and economical characteristics entirely. Post Occupancy Evaluation aims to enable clients, determination shapers, and operators of assorted installations to supply better environments for clients, residents, and users ( Cubukcu and Isitan, 2011 ) . Student perceptual experiences can be assessed in footings of both proficient ( i.e. , acoustic and ocular comfort ) and functional ( i.e. , room coatings and room layout ) demands. However, proficient and functional edifice public presentations are considered as two different facets that can be used to explicate student residential satisfaction ( Hassanain, 2008 cited in Akinluyi, 2013 ) . Similar surveies ( Foubert et Al, 1998, Amole, 2009a & A ; Khozaei et al. , 2010 ) in utilizing a different attack have factored in direction of the installations, this includes elements such as inn regulations and fees and the attitudes of inn employees. Several factors can be used to measure overall satisfaction with pupil lodging, including physical variables such as installations and excess services ( Hassanain, 2008 ) .

This systematic method evaluates the success and failures of completed design undertakings. Such information could be utilized:To better the completed and future design undertakings by better informing the interior decorators of the users’ demands and better bing edifice public presentation by modifying care and direction patterns.To make an indifferent memory for specific types of design undertakings ( such as infirmary and airdrome design or design of a university campus ) .To develop design guidelines for future design undertakings.1.2STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Many edifices do non execute as planned, some end up functioning an wholly different intent from that for which ground they were constructed. In some instances this can impact on running costs and care, user and client satisfaction and public presentation, wellness, safety and comfort.

Housing installations, as before stated, is particularly of import in universities and it is of import that these installations meet the demands of the user for maximal user satisfaction. Harmonizing to Awolesi ( 2008 ) , designs are being constrained by utmost boundaries of cost and economic system, aesthetic considerations, the infinite demands of the clients, or as prevalent in establishments, the demand to do the edifice reflect the bing architectural manner of its immediate environment or typology and this consequences in constructions that sometimes compromise criterions and most times do non see the demands of the proposed users. While there is a demand for considerations of economic system, aesthetics and the of import demands of the client, the users’ demands do non hold to be sacrificed wholly. Residents’ satisfaction is one of the major determiners of edifice public presentation, quality and the success of the design undertaking.

Essay about Gun Control - 1074 Words

Gun control in the United States has been a controversial issue for some time now. So much so that the Supreme Court even refuses to address this issue directly. Gun control really boils down to the the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Many people have different interpretations of the Second Amendment and the trenches are dug in deep on this issue. The Second Amendment can not provide the right to bear all types of arms to protect the people from governmental tyranny. If the Second Amendment was absolute, then we would allow the public to possess nuclear weapons, missiles, and other such arms, because like the 9 mm handgun that is an arm, a nuclear warhead is also a type of arm. The more our government restricts our rights to own†¦show more content†¦I don’t believe that felons should be restricted from owning hand guns, because they are citizens of this country just as much as you or I. If they are out of jail, that means that they have done their time according to our system and their full rights should be reinstated. If we don’t want certain felons to have guns, then we should make their release conditional. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Non citizens of the United States of America should not be allowed to possess any type of weapon. If you are not a citizen you have no right to carry a weapon in our country. If for some reason you need protection here, hire a citizen to protect you while you are visiting. I don’t know why someone would come some place were they feel their live is going to be threatened. nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;It would be next to impossible for our citizens to decide what arms should be allowed for non military ownership. So we group arms in to categories and sub categories. The United States of America is the freest country in the world and yet we don’t have the widest selections of arms available in the world. With good reason, because we are clearly the most violent society in the world and we know this. Certain types of arms have been banned for good reasons.

Renewable Energy - 1335 Words

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services, including health care, education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production, however, they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact, they have negative impact for the environment and hinder developments of environmentally friendly alternative energy options. Indeed, Canada’s implementation of the Kyoto Protocol is seriously threatened by continued government support for oil and gas production, a sector with large and rapidly†¦show more content†¦However, it can also be problematic because it confuses an end (goods and services valued by consumers) with a means (labour)[3]. Increase in energy price will cause price distortion and result of inefficient production in the market, it tend to reduce consumers and producers’ net benefit, and it lead a higher production cost to domestic goods, which will become more costly to compete in the world market. Policy Implication In case to shift Canada’s energy balance toward renewable energy without externalities, we need government’s actions. One possible way is to raise tax on the amount of carbon emitted to the atmosphere. If taxes are appropriately calculated, they can help raise the marginal costs of producers of non-renewable energy to equal the social and environmental costs that their activities create. Countries such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Finland, Switzerland and the Netherlands have already adopted carbon taxes[3]. Sweden, for example, raises US$1 billion per year from its carbon tax and approximately US$10 billion per year in energy taxes, some of which is part of a â€Å"tax shift† that goes to help develop renewable energy[3]. Paul Anderson, the CEO of a major carbon-dioxide emitting power company in US, he said â€Å"reducing greenhouse gases has become a worldwide political and social imperative†¦ It is an imperati ve where AmericanShow MoreRelatedRenewable Energies : Renewable Energy980 Words   |  4 PagesRenewable Energies BHARC1403 - ICWS Rishabh Bhasin â€Æ' â€Å"I declare that this assessment is my own work and that the sources of information and material I have used (including the internet) have been fully identified and properly acknowledged as required in the referencing guidelines provided.† â€Æ' Introduction Renewable sources of energy are the ones that can never be exhausted as they are provided by nature.

King Lear A Tragic Hero Free Essays

King Lear: A Tragic Hero Bibliography w/2 sources Tragedy is defined in Webster? s New Collegiate Dictionary as 1) a medieval narrative poem or tale typically describing the downfall of a great man or 2) a serious drama typically describing a conflict between the protagonist and a superior force, such as destiny, and having a sorrowful or disastrous conclusion that excites pity or terror. The play of King Lear is one of William Shakespeare? s great tragic pieces, it is not only seen as a tragedy in itself, but also a play that includes two tragic heroes and four villains. In the tragedy of King Lear the tragic hero must not be all good or all bad, error of judgement deprives the hero, the use of two tragic characters intensifies the tragedy, the tragedy begins not by character but by action and through their suffering the tragic heroes gain insights. We will write a custom essay sample on King Lear: A Tragic Hero or any similar topic only for you Order Now We must be able to identify ourselves with the tragic hero if he is to inspire fear, for we must feel that what happens to him could happen to us. If Lear was completely evil, we would not be fearful of what happens to him: he would merely be repulsive. But Lear does inspire fear because, like us, he is not completely upright, nor is he completely wicked. He is foolish and arrogant, it is true, but later he is also humble and compassionate. He is wrathful, but at times, patient. Because of his good qualities, we experience pity for him and feel that he does not deserve the severity of his punishment. His actions are not occasioned by any corruption or depravity in him, but by an error in judgment, which, however, does arise from a defect of character. Lear has a tragic flaw, which is egotism. It is his egotism in the first scene that causes him to make his error in judgment of dividing his kingdom and losing Cordelia. Throughout the rest of the play, the consequences of this error slowly and steadfastly increase until Lear is destroyed. There must be a change in the life of the tragic hero; he must pass from happiness to misery. Lear, as seen in Act I, has everything a man should want – wealth, power, peace, and a state of well being. Because a tragic character must pass from happiness to misery, he must be seen at the beginning of the play as a happy man, surrounded by good fortune. Then, the disasters that befall him will be unexpected and will be in direct contrast to his previous state. In King Lear the two tragic characters, a king and an earl, are not ordinary men. To have a man who is conspicuous endure suffering brought about because of his own error is striking. The fear aroused for this man is of great importance because of his exalted position. His fall is awesome and overwhelming. When tragedy, as in Lear, happens to two such men, the effect is even greater. To intensify the tragedy of King Lear, Shakespeare has not one but two tragic characters and four villains. As we have seen, the sub-plot, concerning Gloucester, Edmund, and Edgar, augments the main plot. Gloucester undergoes physical and mental torment because he makes the same mistake that Lear does. Like Lear, Gloucester is neither completely good nor completely bad. There is, for instance, coarseness in the earl, who delights in speaking of his adultery. But he has good qualities as well. He shows, for instance, concern for Kent in the stocks, and he risks his life to help Lear. Gloucester’s punishment, his blindness, parallel’s Lear’s madness. These two tragic stories unfolding at the same time give the play a great eminence. The important element in tragedy is action, not character. It is the deeds of men that bring about their destruction. Lear calls upon the â€Å"great gods,† Edgar and Kent blame Fortune, and Gloucester says that the gods â€Å"kill us for their sport† (IV. i. 37). But in reality the calamities that befall both Lear and Gloucester occur because of the actions of these men. Their actions, it is true, grow out of their characters: both are rash, unsuspecting, and vengeful. But the actions themselves are the beginnings of their agony, for these actions start a chain of events that lead to ultimate catastrophe. A tragic hero gains insight through suffering. Neither Lear nor Gloucester realizes he has committed an error until he has suffered. Lear’s suffering is so intense that it drives him mad; it is in this desolate health that he fully realizes his mistake in giving the kingdom to his two savage daughters and disowning the one daughter who loves him. It is not until Gloucester has been blinded that he learns the truth about his two sons. These two characters learn to endure their suffering. When Gloucester’s attempt to commit suicide fails, he decides to bear his affliction until the end. In his madness Lear learns to endure his agony. Later, when he knows he is to be imprisoned, he maintains this misfortune with a passive calmness. He has grown spiritually through painfully achieved self-knowledge and through Cordelia’s love. Tragedy in King Lear is not only seen through itself but, also through the character of the King and other characters. The Play of King Lear is a great tragic play that many tragedies try to compare to. How to cite King Lear: A Tragic Hero, Essay examples

Services Marketing Dramaturgical Perspective

Question: Discuss about the Services Marketing for Dramaturgical Perspective. Answer: Introduction: A business is consists of two operations, one operates the business organisation from inside and other operates from the outside. As a part of hotel industry, I have analysed the front and back stage operations of Crown Metropol Perth hotel in Australia. The purpose of the study is to analyse the service encounters of the hotel as well as the managerial implications to understand the front and back stage operations. Flowchart Flow Chart (Source: created by author) Front stage Front stage operations refer to the activities that an organisation execute to interact with the clients directly (Wilson et al., 2012). Therefore, the activities regarding the marketing, sales and service or product delivery is included in the part of front stage operations. In this hotel of Australia, some specific group of members does these front stage operations. I have analysed the internal operations of the Crown Metropol Perth hotel, which is situated in Perth of Australia and renowned as one of the luxurious hotels of the country. The entire staff members of the hotel execute the front stage operations of this hotel. The staffs from the reception to the room service provider all are included in this operation. When a guest enters into the hotel from that time, the front stage staffs become active to serve that guest. The Receptionist always serves a guest first, and then the Helpdesk appears to help to solve any problems or queries (Fisk, 2013). The entire staffs of the hotel including the waiters and room service are always ready to help the guest directly with their services. I have gained the practical knowledge of this front stage through analysing this hotels internal operations. Backstage In an organisation, the back stage operations refer to the support process of the activities that are followed and undertaken to deliver the front stage operation properly (Lovelock Patterson, 2015). Therefore, these activities include the administrative operations of the managers and higher authority of any organisation. I have examined the back stage operations of this hotel to analyse the activities of the administrative to run the front stage operations smoothly. The staffs of the kitchen, who serve the foods of the hotel and serve to the guest rooms, are the main part of this back stage operations. The operations of the kitchen staffs for providing the foods to the guests on time are one of the essential parts of the back stage operation. Along with this, the other activities of the internal such as the waste cleaning staffs, room management staffs, managers of the hotel and the staffs who works from the background of the hotel. These are the back stage operations in a hotel, which I have examined after being a part of this hotel. Significance of Service Encounter The service encounter refers to the interaction procedures that are undertaken between the clients and the service providers. This is the interaction of the service organisations with the customers as well as the contact personnel (Hoque, 2013). The service organisation is here the hotel, which I have taken for the analysis of the culture and empowerment of the organisation. The organisation has a belief about the system that contributes to the core values and mission. Therefore, the relationship of the customers and the management is very essential for any organisational industry. In this hotel, the relationship between customers and the organisation is maintained properly. Therefore, the hotel organisation tries to maintain a good relationship with the customers to increase their business profitability. The Customer Relationship is the process to maintain the relationship with the consumers. In this hotel, the consumers mainly lead the organisation. Therefore, the hotel management always try to develop a good relationship with the clients by providing good service. According to Grosbois, (2012), healthy relationship with the customers can increase the profitability of the overall business. If the staffs of the hotel can provide a good service to the customers then they will get good review from them that will helps to increase their popularity in the hotel industry. Good relationship of the organisation and the customers will develop healthy business environments that will bring lasting benefits to the organisation. In this case, the Crown Metropol Perth hotel will increase the competitive advantage of the hotel in the market. This good relation will bring the customers satisfaction, which is very important for any business organisation (Rogers et al., 2016). As the hotel industry is fully dependent on the customers, therefore, the customers should be satisfied. This is the main priority of the hotels to satisfy their customers. Therefore, a proper customer satisfaction will be the main priority of the hotel to gain the business opportunities. This has the opportunity to increase the trust of the customers, which is very essential for retaining the customers and to increase the customers numbers (Artto et al., 2016). Moreover, a good customers relationship management enhance the ability to target profitable consumers as well as improve the overa ll marketing of the particular hotel. I have analysed the service encounter in the hotel and experienced how a development of good relationship can help to increase the overall business profitability. Analysis of Managerial Implications The management is the important part of any business organisation that can increase the profitability and reputation of the organisation, likewise can ruin the reputation of a business if the management take a wrong decision (Trivedi Tripathi, 2015). Therefore, managerial implications are the very essential part of any organisation that affects on the outcome of the business. In this case, I have analysed the managerial implications on the context of the hotel in which I have participation. Therefore, I can understand the managerial impacts of the higher authority of this Crown Metropol Perth hotel. The important responsibilities of the managers in the hotel industry are to implementing proper strategies to improve the business situation towards positivity, which can be possible with a good group of managerial authority. A manager should have some qualities that will improve the internal procedures of the organisation. One of the main qualities that a manager of a hotel should have is keeping the performance log for every employee in the organisation. The performance of every employee should be analysed properly that the performance of any employee could not affect the overall performance of the organisation (Roth, 2013). The managers always judge the employees about their performance level that they can improve their work performance to improve the overall business potential. Additionally, the most important quality that a manager required to have is marinating the good relation with the employees. I have realised one thing that if the manager cannot understand the problems and opportunities of the employees, then the employees cannot express their views about anything before the higher authority. Therefore, the quality of managing a good relationship with the employees is very essential to get an improved business results. The manager should have the quality of giving feedback to the employees perfectly (Haksever Render, 2013). They have to know the way of giving feedback in accurate way. The feedback should be accurate, not be moderate or on any casual basic. The feedback always should be on business oriented and consistence. In this case, the hotel has to possess a good managerial support that can improve the back stage operations that will make smoother the front stage operations. Conclusion While concluding the study, I have analysed the front stage and back stage operation of Crown Metropol Perth hotel to examine the operations of a hotel industry. This study has made me realised that all the operations is related to each other to improve the overall business of an organisation. Reference List Artto, K., Ahola, T., Vartiainen, V. (2016).
